    David experienced much persecution at the hands of King Saul. Yet he never sought to kill Saul, although God delivered
Saul into David’s hands on more than one occasion. Each time David showed himself to be more honorable than King Saul.
David was not after vengeance; he was a man who sought after God’s heart. In the midst of his trials and troubles, he chose
to do only what pleased God, knowing that God would take care of his every need.. In doing so, he made King Saul see himself
and his sin as God saw him. Saul became repentant and blesses David.
     As Christians, we would do well to follow David’s example when we are going through trials and tribulations. Keep our focus
on pleasing God at all times. Stop focusing on the problems. Remember that God does reward those who diligently seek Him.
He is just. He will reward each of us based on what He sees in us, our righteousness, our heart, our condition, our desire to
seek Him.
